ERP Software and Business Continuity

During an ERP implementation, many organizations overlook the importance of business continuity and contingency planning. ERP vendors want to focus on the positive aspects of implementation and organizations want to get their ERP software implemented as quickly as possible without the hassle of extensive planning. For leadership teams that don’t understand the risks of ERP implementation, business continuity planning tends to be a lower priority item. It is viewed as more of a “nice to have” than a critical item on the path to success.
